Design partners · ten seats

Co-build Athena around one real workflow.

For teams of 10 to 100 people who run on expert judgment trapped in Slack, calls, and founder memory. We install Athena around one workflow in two weeks, on founding terms locked in writing. Not beta users. Partners, with obligations in both directions.

You receive

  • Athena live in your workspace within weeks, shaped around how your team actually works
  • A direct line to both founders. Questions answered within a day, fixes shipped by the people you talked to
  • Your workflows steer the roadmap. We build what the cohort needs, in the order it needs it
  • Founding terms, locked in writing, before there is a price page
  • A mutual NDA and a plain-language agreement: your data is yours, your IP is yours, leave anytime

We ask

  • Thirty minutes every two weeks, with the people who own the workflow, for about three months
  • A real workflow with real knowledge in it. Intent to deploy, not to evaluate
  • Candor in the same sentence you notice something is broken
  • At the end: the truth about whether you would pay, and why or why not
Fit

Who the seats are for.

A fit, if

  • Your team is roughly 10 to 100 people, and decisions move faster than documentation
  • You can name, today, a place where tacit knowledge recently cost you something
  • You have already tried something: a wiki push, a tool, an internal hack that almost worked
  • The person who owns the workflow will be in the room

Not a fit, if

  • You want to evaluate AI tools for a report
  • Nobody senior can spare thirty minutes a fortnight
  • The knowledge you want captured is already neatly written down. You don't need us
The program

How it runs, in four moves.

  1. 01

    Kickoff

    One hour. We map where knowledge dies in your org and pick the first workflow Athena will sit in.

  2. 02

    Live in weeks

    Athena deployed against the chosen workflow. First citations, first refusals, first elicitations.

  3. 03

    Biweekly counsel

    Thirty minutes, every two weeks, with both founders. What worked, what lied, what's missing.

  4. 04

    Verdict

    After about three months: keep it on founding terms, or walk away clean. Either answer helps us.

The application

Two short steps.

The second one is where you convince us, and where most people convince themselves. Read by a founder, answered within 48 hours. No list, no drip.

Step 1 of 2

Two technical founders. Switzerland. Your data stays yours, processed in the EU.
